Not hungering for this: Operation Wolf & Airwolf | NES Works 123

I keep typing "Worf" instead of "wolf" with these games, and I can't tell you how much more interesting those games would have been than these cartridges. Both of them fall short of their potential in very different ways. Airwolf, for example, is a first-person helicopter-based game that attempts to give players an interesting, immersive take on the experience of flying a combat and rescue chopper—think Choplifter in 3D—but totally fumbles it. Operation Wolf, on the other hand, suffers from the NES's technical limitations and fails to deliver the intense, high-energy experience of the original arcade game. As the Klingons say, perhaps it is a good day to skip these. This video contains a fair amount of strobing lights due to the emphasis on light gun games, so sensitive viewers should approach with caution.
